maccio92 commented on Not enough jobs for science graduates challenges STEM hype smh.com.au/business/workp... · Posted by u/rb808
I think its been this way for a while? At least since the Great Recession imo. I have friends who have amazing credentials (talking like compsci and physics phds from places like caltech and cmu) and very few of them are employed in their field. Some of them didn’t even do anything and are basically NEETs who play video games all day.
It’s pretty clear the actual value and potential of these degrees aren’t being honestly advertised. The “STEM” hype as mentioned here certainly doesn’t help the situation. It is a lot of time and money and effort thrown away for a lot of people and it’s heartbreaking.
If they want jobs as a developer there are plenty. If they see NEETs that just play video games all day it's probably their own lifestyle choices that are at fault
maccio92 commented on Pengwin – A Linux Distro Optimized for WSL Based on Debian github.com/WhitewaterFoun... · Posted by u/edgr
> Pengwin is also the first Linux distribution pre-configured and optimized to run specifically on Windows® Subsystem for Linux, a Microsoft-supported feature of Windows 10 and Windows Server 2019.
Yes. What kinds of optimizations make it optimized? This is my original question. Telling me the equivalent of "read the article" changes nothing when I've already done so and that it doesn't say what's been changed to make it optimized.
I've yet to carefully go through all 900 commits of with subject lines almost entirely of pull request #s, but one would think if whole repo's title was how it was "optimized" they could substantiate what they mean or what they did.
I'm not sure if/what they changed in the distribution itself, but tooling optimizations are in the list:
* Pengwin includes wslu, a set of useful open-source utilities for interacting between WSL and Windows 10
* Manage your Microsoft Windows and Azure deployments with PowerShell and azure-cli, command line tools for Azure.
* Enable/disable Windows Explorer shell integration.
* Configure experimental GUI settings, including a Windows 10 theme for your Linux applications, HiDPI support and international input methods.
* Create a secure bridge to Docker running on Windows.
* Support for many Linux graphical applications with no need to configure display or libGL in Pengwin. (Requires a Windows-based X server, such as X410.)
* Pengwin provides faster patching for WSL-specific bugs than any upstream Linux distro available on WSL.
Non-programmers could learn, understand and use SQL for their need.
So, i migrated from a RoR stack, which uses Active Record into the SQL to API approach. That means, i put non-programmers into the center of my stack.
That said, developers will need to build more strong abstraction, so that non-programmers could stand on their own to build their things. It's not the job of developers.
Developers is to build foundation.
